Since taking over the Big 12, Brett Yormark accelerated a media rights deal, got ahead of the Pac-12 with it, and sent a clear signal that his league is viable for the long term, says ByPatForde
“What’s his name again?” one Big 12 athletic director asked. “Does he know anything about our business?”
So far, no disasters. Yormark accelerated the timetable for a media rights deal, got ahead of the Pac-12 in locking it in and sent a clear signal that the league is viable for the long term. Yormark made it abundantly clear that he was coming on board with the overriding goal of lining the league’s coffers with more money , and he’s done that.
If that’s the case, both leagues have the chance to stabilize and survive without raiding each other. Which would be a good thing. Then we’ll see whether either dip into the Group of 5 leagues for additional members.. If it can maintain independence while raking in a significant increase in revenue when its deal with NBC expires after 2024, the earth does not shake. If that changes, everything returns to crisis mode..
—This is a massive day in the SEC, with first place on the line in both divisions. The headliner is in the East: Tennessee at Georgia , a clash of unbeatens that have shown little weakness to date. The West has its own compelling matchup in Alabama at LSU , as Brian Kelly tries to take down the king and establish himself in Baton Rouge.
The undercard: TCU at Texas , North Carolina at Wake Forest and Illinois at Purdue . Tough road challenges for a trio of CFP aspirants against pretty good opponents. The potential trap games: Ohio State at Maryland , Georgia at Kentucky , TCU at Baylor , Ole Miss at Arkansas . It would not be a shock to see one or more Playoff dreams derailed that day on the home field of an unranked opponent.. The headliner: Michigan at Ohio State. This is merely the most impactful game remaining in the regular season. The loser of Tennessee-Georgia probably has a better Playoff survivability chance than the loser of this game.
